They found a table and sat. They announced the first dance for Fleur and Bill everyone watched with smiles.
"She's so beautiful." Hermione watched enthralled. Ron didn't even look at Fleur; he kept his eyes on Hermione. He wanted so badly to dance with her. They watched his mother and father get up to dance, aunts and uncles, even George and Fred got up and danced with their dates, Ginny and Harry, Tonks and Remus. He was about to ask her to dance when…
"Can I have this dance?" a foreign voice interrupted. It was Viktor, both Hermione and Ron were shocked.
"I really don't think that's a good idea." Hermione said. Ron smiled internally.
"Oh please, as friends, please," he begged. Ron knew that Hermione didn't have the heart to say no again and just as he was about to stand up for her, she surprised him.
"Viktor please, I am trying to be cordial and you are making it very difficult, I do not believe it's a good idea to dance with you." She looked away from him to Ron. "Ronald would you like to dance?" she asked. He didn't have to answer, he simply reached out his hand she took it and neither looked back.
As he pulled her out to the dance floor both of them were beaming. He pulled her in, he rested his hand on the small of her back, she put one hand on his back and they both held on to each other's free hand. They attempted to hold a conversation but they gave up. She rested her head on his shoulder and they just enjoyed each other's company. When the song ended they let go. Hermione went to go talk to a friend and Ron went and sat back down.
"So what just went down with Viktor over there?" Harry almost came out of nowhere and sat down.
"Bloody hell where did you come from?" he jumped and got his thoughts together. "And um, well he asked Hermione to dance, then she said no, and he asked again, and she rejected him and she asked me to dance and we danced and here we are now." Ron explained.
"So there was no fight? No big explosion? Nothing?" Harry asked disappointed.
"Nope, sorry mate." He laughed. Then they got into a conversation about Quidditch. As they were talking Ginny came over and sat on Harry's lap. She kissed his cheek and then they were in a full on snog.
"Come on guys! I can handle a kiss here and there. But full on snogging, I cannot take!" he whined and walked off, turning around right into Hermione.
"Sorry," she said blushing as she looked around him to see Ginny and Harry snogging.
"It's alright." He said getting stable. "Do you want to sit?" he asked.
"Well weren't you just getting up to leave?"
"I was going to go looking for you, away from the love birds." He looked towards Harry and Ginny, who had calmed down a little.
"I can understand why." They sat down. George and Fred came up with their dates and took up the remaining seats.
"Hello, everyone." George and Fred greeted, their dates nodded and smiled.
"Uh, Harry, we know you're the boy who lived and everything," Fred began.
"But if you keep snogging our sister like that you will not be the boy who lived for much longer." George finished firmly. Hermione and Ron giggled; it was their turn to have the laugh.
"Hermione, I love your dress." Fred's date, Angelina commented.
"Oh thanks, I saw it in a store in Hogsmead over last school year and I just had to buy it, I didn't really know where I was going to wear it to but I bought it anyway, I'm glad I did." She smiled. Once this conversation started Ginny and Angelina talked about the latest fashions while Hermione and Kat, George's date, talked about the most recent books they had read. The boys were talking about Fred and Georges escapades with the business.
"Calling all Weasley's. Get your arse's up here with your dates and wives and let's do this." Ginny pulled Harry up all happy, George grabbed his date and Fred grabbed Angelina. Ron looked towards Hermione and she smiled; he knew the answer. They got up and he led her to the dance floor. It was a crazy dance that only a Weasley could come up with. Everyone was laughing and having fun.
When the song was over, some people vacated the dance floor and others continued to dance. Hermione and Ron stayed on and kept dancing and having fun. Sharing laughs at Ron's dancing or just having fun with each other.
Harry had gone to sit down with Fred and George.
"So Harry, do you have any idea of what's going on with Ron and Hermione?" George asked, sounding genuinely curious.
"I really have no idea fellas, all I know is that their 'just friends,'" he made the air quotes and a skeptical face.
"Not if we can help it," they said in unison.
"Guys, just stay out of it," Harry urged. "I honestly think that by the end of tonight something will happen, they haven't fought all day, it's a good day." Fred and George just smirked at each other. They whispered something and left the table and walked out of the tent.
Hermione and Ron walked over to the table. Ron had his arm around Hermione the dancing had tired both of them out a little. They were laughing as they sat down.
"Where'd Fred and George go?" Ron asked, he pulled the chair out for Hermione, Harry was shocked. "What? Never seen me pull a chair out for a girl?" he shook his head saying 'no.'
"I really have no idea where they went, have you seen Ginny?" he said trying to change the subject.
"I think I saw her at the desert table." Hermione suggested.
"The deserts out? I'll go find her." Ron volunteered. He got up. "Do you want anything 'Mione? Harry?" he asked.
"Can I have a cupcake?" Hermione asked.
"I'm good for now. Thanks." Harry nodded.
"No problem" he smiled and walked away. Hermione stayed in her own little world, Harry snapped her out of it.
"Hermione!" he snapped his finger in front of her face. "What is going on with you? You're acting mad."
"What? Oh Harry, I'm just happy. Is it so weird to see me happy?" she asked.
"Well it is when the thing that's making you happy is Ron." He shook his head.
"What?" she asked trying to sound shocked.
"I'm not stupid Hermione, you've had the time of your life here and it's because of Ron."
"I can't just be happy because it's a wedding and I'm having fun with my friends?"
"One friend in particular I would say." He laughed. She shook her head and laughed; not denying it.
Ron couldn't find Ginny at the desert table, but he did see Fred and George.
"So, we were thinking," Fred began.
"We were going to bring our dates up to the roof," George continued.
"You know how we put that charm on it when we were younger?" Fred asked.
"So you know mum or dad or even you or Ginny couldn't come up there or see us when we were up there?" George said smiling sheepishly thinking of the reason he used the charm.
"But you and Hermione have been looking so cozy together tonight," Fred elaborated.
"So we were thinking about taking one for the team and letting you take her up there." George finished.
"Of course don't do anything you will regret in the morning Ronnie-kins." Fred said and smirked.
"Really guys? Are you serious?" he was surprised. "Wait I don't think she'll go for it if she knew what you used it for, she'd get the wrong idea."
"Just lead her up there, we even took the charm off knowing Hermione and all, and only you and Ginny have an idea of what went on up there" Fred chuckled to himself hoping he didn't get any ideas.
"We just feel bad that we made so many 'crude jokes' today, but don't expect the jokes to stop," George assured.
"Because they never will." Fred finished.
"How do I get her to go up with me?"
"Just take a walk." George offered. "Have fun"
"Don't do anything we wouldn't do." Fred laughed and walked over to their dates.
Ron got the desert and brought it over to the table. He set the plate down.
"I couldn't find Gin, but I brought extra cookies if you want some Harry." He handed the cupcake to Hermione, she smiled in appreciation.
"Thanks mate, I was actually hoping for some cookies." They laughed. They sat and ate while they talked about the desert.
"Thanks for the cookies Ron; I'm going to go find Ginny." Harry excused himself. Hermione and Ron sat in silence for a little then Ron broke it.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" he asked hoping she'd say yes.
"Yeah, that sounds nice." She smiled and he reached out his hand for her to take it and link arms again. They said 'hi' to several people on their way out.
"So, the wedding has been really nice." Hermione started the conversation.
"Yeah, it really has. I've had a lot of fun." Ron commented.
"Me too, and have you realized that we haven't gotten into a row once today?"
"I have, it's really nice actually." He said.
"It is; I've really enjoyed the day." She said, cutting off at the end because of a shiver.
"Are you cold?" he asked. Before she could answer he was already pulling of his suit jacket. He held it out so she could slip into it. It was way too big for her.
"Thanks, it's really warm." She smiled inwardly. He took her hand.
"Wow your hand is really cold." He stated and kept it in his hand for warmth
"Yeah it's a little cold out." She said stopping then realized she had no clue where they were going. "Ron, where are we going?"
"You'll see when we get there" he said and he opened the door to the house, it was vacant. She liked the idea of not knowing. She liked how she trusted Ron because he would never steer her wrong and she knew it. They soon were climbing all the stairs all the way up to the top.
"Ron, where are we going? There is nowhere else to go." She stood looking up at the ceiling.
"That's what you think," he smirked while he took out his wand. He said a spell that Hermione didn't recognize. A new set of stairs and an opening appeared. He pulled her up, she was a little apprehensive. "Nervous?" he laughed.
"No, not at all." She said as her head emerged looking at a vast area of space. She saw the stars and she looked around she could see the whole ground area of the burrows, the tent and the pond and the garden. She was astounded.
"Do you like it?" he asked, happy with her reaction.
Back at the wedding Ginny and Harry were having fun and dancing when Fred and George entered the dance floor. In between steps they were talking to Harry and Ginny.
"Where did Ron and Hermione go?" Fred asked fully knowing the answer.
"I actually have no idea, Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Oh I think they went on a walk." The twins high fived.
"Our job here is done." George said satisfied.
"What did you guys do?" Ginny asked concerned.
"Nothing we just suggested to our dearest brother Ron to take Hermione on a walk." George tried to soothe his sisters concerns.
"And where did you suggest that he take this walk to?" she asked with little patience.
"Just up to the roof, calm down, it was all in the spirit of love and fun, we promise." Fred reassured. She looked at him suspiciously.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now." She said and walked away with Harry in tow.
"Ron, I love it up here. It's beautiful. Why had I never seen it before?" she asked sitting down on the blanket that was on the roof top.
"Well, whenever I tried to bring you up here the twins had it or they changed the spell to get up here, or it wasn't nice enough outside or we were in a row." He said sheepishly. She got up and hugged him.
"This is the most beautiful place I have ever been and I'm really glad I'm here with you" she blushed as she said it.
He knew this was his moment he looked into her eyes and he moved his head closer to him, she instinctively shifted onto her tip toes to meet his face. Their lips instantly molded into one another like they had been doing it for ages. Both their faces began to blush and he could feel the heat in her cheeks as he held her face. Her fingers knotted in his ginger hair and they could have been there for years.
"Harry, Ginny!" Fred and George chorused. "Come here! Look at this!" They were outside the tent and they were watching as Ron and Hermione talked on the roof and just as Harry and Ginny focused on the scene they saw them kiss. They all witnessed Ron and Hermione's first kiss. They started clapping as they broke away.
"Wow." Ron said as he broke away. She giggled. "Stop that, that makes me want you more." He mock scolded.
"Well you can have me now." And with that he kissed her again, but more energetically this time.
As they kissed again Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came out with Tonks and Remus and they watched intently.
After their second kiss they realized they had an audience when they heard everyone whooping and hollering on the ground by the tent. They both laughed.
"Only my family." He shook his head and kissed Hermione again and he gave the on lookers thumbs up, they both laughed and he pulled her out of sight of the spe
